Abstract
The mounting receptacle (102) for a telephone handset (112) includes a cup portion (203) for receiving a portion of the telephone handset (112) and a card reader portion (205) containing a card reader (301) and an opening (201) for allowing a user to insert an information card (135) into the card reader (301). The cup portion (203) and the card reader portion (205) are attached together via a quick disconnect connector (314, 322) that is integrally formed of the cup portion (203) and the card reader portion (205). The quick disconnect connector allows the opening (201) to be selectively positioned on one of the sides of the mounting receptacle (102) and readily moveable to a different one of the sides of the mounting receptacle (102) by a user.
